Historical intraday provider record — 16 September 2026. The saved Russell 2000 cash-index reading was 2,837.33 points, with a 2,870.29 reference and a −1.15% displayed change. Its quote label was 15:21 EDT; the batch was collected at 19:36 UTC, or 01:06 IST on September 17. The later collection time does not turn the older quote into a real-time observation.
| Cash-index level / reference | 2,837.33 / 2,870.29 index points |
|---|---|
| Earlier checkpoint | 2,876.3943 at 16 September, 00:01 IST |
| Provider open / high / low | 2,873.75 / 2,887.82 / 2,837.33; not independently reverified |
| Provider state | “open”; not a closing or settlement confirmation |
| Primary archive check | Dated intraday values not independently reproduced in this review |
Why −1.15% is not the same as −1.36%
(2,837.33 ÷ 2,870.29 − 1) × 100 rounds to −1.15%. Comparing 2,837.33 with the separately saved 2,876.3943 checkpoint gives approximately −1.36%. Both are conditional calculations from retained provider fields; neither verifies the underlying historical observations.
Cash benchmark versus futures
FTSE Russell’s official index material identifies the Russell 2000 with the US small-cap segment. A cash-index reading is distinct from the separately traded E-mini Russell 2000 futures archive. The body’s previous USD unit description was wrong for an index level; the proper unit here is points. No credit, bank or rates explanation for this particular move was verified.
Correction — 12 October 2026: Cash-index levels in this report and its summaries are expressed in index points, not cash prices in USD. A return series may have a base currency; that does not make the quoted index level an amount payable for the index. Only the unit labels have changed. Historical values, percentages, observation times and the original publication date are preserved. This correction does not independently verify the archived provider observations.

Archive clarification — 17 October 2026: The remaining USD unit error was corrected, and the text now distinguishes quote time from collection time, intraday data from a close, and the two reference calculations. Repetitive unsupported driver suggestions were removed without replacing historical values. The original URL, publication and modification date fields, image assignment and byline are unchanged. This is a correction of the historical report, not a new market update. Source review recorded at . The review was AI-assisted; no independent human editorial approval is claimed.
